Dunn Dodge Portage | Apprentice Technician | Opened on 09/16/2026 | Pay rate: $22.14-31.98 per hour
The Role As an Apprentice Technician whether you are looking to start or continue your apprenticeship and work toward earning your Red Seal. You’ll gain hands-on experience from day one, working alongside a Red Seal journeyperson while developing your skills as you progress through each level of your apprenticeship.

What The Path Looks Like Day one: registered with Apprenticeship Manitoba, journeyperson assigned, hours reported every six months so nothing stalls.
Levels 1 and 2: the fundamentals.
